Lightel microscopes do not use lasers. Illumination is provided by a blue LED and is completely eye-safe.

All Series 2 tips can be used with all CI-1100 and all DI Series microscopes. Older Series 1 tips (CI-1000 tips) can also be used together with the PT2-CI/ADAPT, an adapter which can be purchased from Lightel.

Series 2 tips cannot be used with the CI-1000. No adapter is available.

The CI-1000-USB was a USB1.1 device. No 64-bit driver is available for this product.

No! The Lightel charger/adapter contains the charging circuit. Use of a non-Lightel charger/adapter will damage the battery and may damage the CI-1100.

All Lightel probes are able to inspect tips in the bulkhead. Use the correct female tip for your connector type.

All Lightel PC tips can be used to inspect UPC connectors.

Lightel microscopes do not require calibration. If you are unable to properly focus the unit, it should be returned to Lightel for repair. If the unit can properly focus, no calibration is necessary.

Contact Lightel by phone or email and provide the model, S/N, and a brief description of the problem. We will provide an RMA # which must appear on the outside of the box when you send the device to us.

Repairs are generally completed within 3-5 business days of receipt of your microscope.
